Matip’s stoppage-time own-goal hands Tottenham a 2-1 win over defiant 9-man Liverpool

Published Wed, 12 Feb 2025 10:01:36 GMT

LONDON (AP) — Joel Matip’s own-goal deep into stoppage time handed Tottenham a 2-1 win over Liverpool in the Premier League on Saturday after a defiant showing from the visitors following two red cards.Liverpool looked set to hold on for a draw before Matip turned Pedro Porro’s low cross into his own net in the sixth minute of added-on time.Liverpool had Curtis Jones sent off in the 26th minute for a reckless challenge on Yves Bissouma and had to play the last 20 minutes, plus stoppage time, with nine men after substitute Diogo Jota picked up two yellow cards in quick succession.Liverpool would have gone top of the standings with a win thanks to Manchester City’s surprising 2-1 loss to Wolverhampton earlier Saturday. Tottenham moves up to second, overtaking Liverpool.Jones was shown a red card after a VAR review. He was initially given a yellow card by referee Simon Hooper after he caught Bissouma late in a tackle but it was upgraded after the official consulted th...

BOULDER, Colo. (AP) — Caleb Williams threw for 403 yards and tied a career high with six touchdown passes as No. 8 Southern California held off Colorado 48-41 on Saturday after racing out to a big lead.Leading 34-7 in the second quarter, the Trojans saw Colorado storm back to make it a one-score game with 1:43 remaining on Shedeur Sanders' 16-yard TD strike to Jimmy Horn Jr. The Trojans recovered the onside-kick attempt and Williams kneeled three times to close out the win.The Trojans (5-0, 3-0 Pac-12) improved to 17-0 all-time against the Buffaloes (3-2, 0-2), who were knocked off for a second straight week after a 3-0 start that made Deion Sanders' team the biggest story in college football.USC picked up right where Oregon left off last week, overwhelming the 21 1/2-point underdog Buffaloes in the first half.Williams smoothly operated the offense, completing 17 straight passes at one point. The reigning Heisman Trophy winner spread around the wealth, too, throwing TD pas...

Boston child care access grows following BPDA zoning code amendment

Published Wed, 12 Feb 2025 10:01:36 GMT

The demand for child care in Boston is high, and officials are hoping a change in the zoning code will make it easier for families to have their needs met by allowing providers to open facilities in all neighborhood districts.Providers will no longer have to take into account how much space their programs take up on a property nor worry about meeting specific parking requirements after the Boston Planning and Development Agency signed off on various changes to the zoning code this week.In 2020, Boston had nearly 40,000 children ages 0 to 5 — with more than half of them 2 and under — but the availability of child care seats proved scarce, according to city data. Just 21% of the roughly 24,200 seats available were for infants and toddlers, figures showDowntown, Back Bay and Beacon Hill are the only neighborhoods where available seats outnumber the children who need them. Charlestown, West Roxbury and Hyde Park are most in need, officials say.“Most of Boston’s neighborhoods are experie...

Published Wed, 12 Feb 2025 10:01:36 GMT

Millions of Americans must start repaying their federal student loans again in October, with monthly payments averaging hundreds of dollars. To get ready, borrowers are cutting expenses, taking on additional work, and looking for options to reduce their monthly payments.Megan McClelland, 38, said she has started asking for October shifts with a catering company and a winery to help supplement her income.McClelland’s main job is as a counselor at Petaluma High School in California. During the more than three years payments were suspended because of the pandemic, she paid off her car loan and was able to save for the first time. She’ll put the $235 she was spending on her car payment toward her student loan, but that still leaves another $270 or so she’ll have to reallocate or earn.“It had been a huge relief the past few years to not have that financial burden,” she said. “In the next months, I’m looking to see where I can scale back in my budget. Probably less...
